The Medium
How and where pictures are shown determines the minimum number of megapixels needed from a digital camera. The resolution chosen is very important:
- Not enough megapixels means your pictures will appear unsharp or blurry.
- Too many megapixels means you will spend more for your camera and its memory.
- Frequently cameras with more megapixels produce images which are more noisy.
